Blend and Origin
Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2012
This vintage was tested, withstanding frost, heavy rain, hail, a cold spell during flowering and periods of scalding heat. Ideal weather in August, paired with a staggered harvest, ensured the grapes – 41% chardonnay, 33% pinot noir and 26% meunier – were sweet, with a notable freshness. The meunier was particularly fine and an essential part of the assemblage.
